Vtip AMD je v tom,ze ten trh AMD vymyslelo a malo na na nom 100%

PIC - najlacnejšie PC za 185 USD
27.10.2004

Keď minulý týždeň Steve Balmer hovoril o PC, ktoré by stálo 100 USD, vyvolal rozporuplné ohlasy, tento týždeň má byť uvedené na trh PC za 185 USD, nejde však iba o pokorenie ďalšej magickej hranice...
Veď 185 USD za počítač a príplatok 60 USD za komplet počítača s monitorom je výrazne menej, ako sa v súčasnosti pohybujú ceny najlacnejších počítačových zostáv. Brutálne zníženie ceny iste vyvolá otázku, ako je možné, že je PIC taký lacný? Koncept vznikol v AMD a tamojší vývojári dostali od svojho šéfa jasné zadanie ? cena PC musí vyjsť tak, aby sa stalo dostupným pre používateľov, respektíve rodiny s ročným príjmom na úrovni od 1000 do 6000 USD, nuž a to bol isto neľahký oriešok. Po definovaní ceny bolo treba nájsť vhodný mix technických parametrov a tie pretaviť do konfigurácie, aby sa do predpokladanej ceny zmestilo všetko potrebné.

Negroponte sketches out his idea for a $100 laptop for the poor children of the world in an e-mail to his old friend, Hector Ruiz, CEO of AMD. Six hours later, Ruiz replies: ?Count us in, and we would be delighted to take a lead role here.? Within weeks, News Corp. and Google also join as founding members of the newly formed program, One Laptop per Child.

preco teda AMD cuva z trehu, ktory samo vymyslelo, vybudovalo a dnes na nom prakticky neexistuje? V postate ostali decTop, byvale PIC a OLPC + intelcaky Asus Eee

fotoba: Protoze pravdepodobne v soucasnosti nemaji konkurenceschopny reseni, ktery by mohli na ten tr uvest.
Jinak ta zprava z digirevue.sk zni jak z predrevolucnich televiznich novin. Tak trochu mi to pripomnelo "Ukol znel jasne: zlikvidovat diverzanta s kozenou brasnou." :)

qee ale maju
